See the Saugus Gopher

In one of our posts last week we mentioned Gopher, and that was an unfamiliar term to some readers. Basically Gopher predates the Web but serves some of the same needs. Now it can be seen as a little bit less glitzy and quite a bit faster way of getting at some information. These days most of what was on Gopher has been ported to the Web, but you'll still find some interesting information in Gopherspace (that's what the world-wide collection of Gopher pages are called) that hasn't made its way across. Saugus.net's Gopher Site is still supported; feel free to check it and other Gopher sites out -- who knows what you'll find? Note though that not all browsers support Gopher. You'll need something like Firefox to browse Gopherspace properly.
